Chapter 995 The Demon Seed is Natural (29)
There are a lot of good things to be found on the mountains in early autumn.
People in the village have to work hard to store food for the coming of winter, so the mountains are much less lively than usual, and Ono likes to run up the mountains even more.
She is lively and cheerful but also a little weird, that is, she doesn't like to get along with others. Her grandfather is worried that she will be lonely, so he acquiesces to her going up and down the mountains and rivers all day long, rarely restricting her actions.
Xiaotao is different.
He had been sick since he was born. He finally got better as he grew up, but he still couldn't compare with Ono, who had been strong and free of illness and disaster since childhood.
Xiaotao's temperament is also peaceful and quiet, and her parents love her very much. If Xiaoye wasn't the only one of about the same age in the village, Xiaotao's parents would not let their son run wildly in the mountains all day long.
I was worried before.
Now that I'm injured, I feel even more distressed.
Ono didn't want to take him out, but the two of them had played together since they were born, so it would be a bit unethical to go up the mountain alone and leave him at home.
Now, on the rugged mountain road, Ono not only had to take care of the eggs in his bag, but also the peach on his back.
"There is a bird's nest up there. You sit here and look at my bag. I will go up and take it out, and we will go back."
The two of them were already halfway up the mountain, and Ono took a fancy to a bird's nest built on a huge rock wall.
She put Xiao Tao down and let him sit on the soft grass, then took off her bag and handed it to him.
"Take it."
Xiaotao nodded obediently, holding the bag in her arms, watching Xiaoye climb up the rock lightly and nimbly without any burden.
He knew that this height would not trouble Ono, but he still couldn't help shouting.
"Be careful."
Xiaoye focused all his attention on the bird's nest, using his hands to move upwards. Xiao Tao was sitting on the grass on the hillside. Seeing that Ono was only a faint shadow at the top, she hugged her bag and quietly lowered her eyes, looking at the flowers and plants in front of her.
Suddenly there was some movement from the bag in his arms. He lowered his head curiously and looked at the cloth bag handed to him by Ono.
Inside are Ono's things. Besides bird eggs, what else is there?
Curious, he slowly opened the package and took a closer look inside.
"Ah! Snake!"
Seeing the small green snake in the bag, Xiao Tao was immediately frightened and threw the bag out of her arms. Her already pale face was now filled with a layer of fear.
Losing the bag was not enough. He saw the little snake snaking out of the bag. The timid boy was so frightened that he held his hands on the grass behind his back and kicked back hard with one leg. His whole body was shaking. He kept retreating.
"Don't come over! Don't come over!"
He panicked.
The little snake made no movement, coiled in place, staring at Xiao Tao with its eyes. Its bald tail seemed to be tense and stretched, and its mouth opened and closed as if it wanted to say something.
Xiaotao, who had not fully recovered from the illness, was frightened again. She couldn't calm down for a while and continued to retreat.
Suddenly, he looked at the little snake that was motionless just now and raised its upper body. Vaguely, Xiao Tao saw that the little snake's upper body turned into the face of a little girl!
"Ah..."
The hand that had been supporting my body suddenly fell into the air! !
Immediately afterwards, the boy's whole body fell uncontrollably, and with a quick cry, Xiao Tao's body disappeared on the slope.
Ono was trying to stretch her arms to reach the bird's nest high up, when she vaguely heard a brief, vague cry.
